Not going to go off on some long rant. Just going to try summing up my thoughts in a few rambling paragraphs.
I like Coach Rhoads the person, the man, whatever. But as a head football coach? I did at first. He showed a passion for the job that, as he said in his locker room speech, made me so proud to be a fan. But since then I have grown less and less proud of what's going on with the football program, and more tired.
Like most of you, I've been patient. But 7 years in, and what do we have to show for it? A 1-2 start after a 2-10 season. Granted, I really think Iowa is legit this year, but we should have won that one. And Toledo? We were a chip shot away from 2-1.
Things clearly aren't progressing. And now we have a SEZ to fill and higher ticket prices. I hope things turn around soon. Otherwise it'll look really embarrassing with a brand new section of seats but no one to fill them.
Have no clue what should be done. I just know I'm tired and I'm done buying into the hype and false hope we're usually fed in the offseason.
